Abstract
This invention relates to an apparatus and method for increasing the cooling rate of an item and its contents within a refrigeration system. The item is held in a housing that also includes a motor driven fan. The apparatus containing the item to be cooled is placed in a refrigeration system and the motor driven fan moves cold air from the refrigeration system through the housing, thereby quickly and favorably cooling the item.
Claims9
An apparatus for portable use within a refrigeration system for increasing the cooling rate of an item comprising:
- (a) a housing for removable placement within said refrigeration system for receiving and holding said item therein in at least partially spaced relationship with an inner surface of said housing;
- (b) a fan positioned within said refrigeration system in conjunction with said housing for moving cold air from said refrigeration system through said housing, said cold air contacting said item.
A portable apparatus for use within a refrigeration system for increasing the cooling rate of an item comprising:
- (a) a housing having an inner surface;
- (b) at least one thermally conductive flexible element connected to said inner surface of said housing for receiving and holding said item and defining an at least partially spaced relationship between said item and said inner surface;
- (c) a fan positioned in conjunction with said housing for moving cold air from said refrigeration system through said housing, said cold air contacting and thereby cooling said item and said thermally conductive flexible element.
A method for increasing the cooling rate of an item within a refrigeration system, comprising the steps of:
- (a) placing into said refrigeration system said item and its contents in a portable housing having a fan and at least one flexible element adapted to receive and contact said item;
- (b) moving cold air from said refrigeration system against said item by use of said fan thereby cooling said item and its contents and said flexible element;
- (c) removing said item and said housing from said refrigeration system.
